Course Start Dates and Fees
DGHE offers a range of level 4 & 5 BTEC HNC/HND courses and University Degrees. Students can choose from either daytime or our new flexible programme options. The College has new intakes in September, January, February and April each year. Course fees vary according to duration and study mode but are the same for both UK/EU and International students.
Note: UK/EU students may be eligible for study loans/grants from the Student Loans Company. This support can help finance both your studies and day to day living expenses (depending on the course level). Please telephone one of our Advisors to discuss the options that may be available to you.

POSSIBLE EXTRA COSTS DURING THE COVID-19 CRISIS WHERE THE COLLEGE FACILITIES MAY NOT BE AVAILABLE AND/OR ONLY PARTIALLY OPEN
If the College is closed or partially closed due to restrictions imposed under the Covid-19 crisis, students will typically be taught remotely (online). It is therefore essential that students have access to a good PC/Laptop and have a good Broadband connection.
